Honolulu blends city life with iconic beaches, perfect for your Hawaiian adventure. Surf by day, luau (party) by night. Soak up the history at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel or hike Diamond Head for incredible coastal views.

Hawai’i, the Big Island, has a totally different ambience, with wide open spaces, dramatic volcanoes and tropical plantations. Spot whales in winter or snorkel with manta rays on a unique night tour. Maui charms with romantic, five-diamond resorts, while Kaua’i, the Garden Island, stuns with beauty and dramatic scenery.

  • "O'ahu is full of energy and variety. You can snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Hanauma Bay, go quad biking at Kualoa Ranch (a working ranch and film set—think Jurassic Park), and spot turtles along the North Shore. Whether you're after adventure or just want to unwind, O'ahu has something for everyone. If you're a foodie or a shopaholic, you’ll love Ala Moana, the world’s largest outdoor shopping centre."

  • “I found Pearl Harbor to be eye opening and personal. My grandfather was a prisoner of war in Japan and to learn that the Japanese surrendered right at that spot on the USS Missouri was very moving. There was a lot to see at Pearl Harbor and I learned that one day is not enough to see it all.”

  • “I loved the mountain biking at Kualoa Ranch, it was such a fabulous way to explore. I recommend swimming under the waterfall at Waimea Botanical Gardens and the sunrise walks at Lā'ie Beach on the North Shore. I didn't realise just how much there is to do on O‘ahu, whether you want adventure, relaxation, history, or incredible food, you'll get it all plus much, much more, surrounded by friendly locals who are more than happy to show you their home.”
